New artist Shannon Selig, who recently relocated to Nashville from the two places she called home ~ Maine and Nova Scotia ~ has been in the studio tracking vocals for her debut album, Perfectly Imperfect, due out April 16.

The 11-track release combines songs written by the American/Canadian singer/songwriter with songs from top Music City tunesmiths for a fresh collection of music with a purpose.

“I am so honored that I am able to release my debut album here in Nashville. I have always known I wanted to become a positive role model in the community and I am blessed to be able to do that through music,” Selig says. “The process of preparing for this album has been years in the making and it has shaped me into the woman I am today. I am so excited to share this album with the world.” 

Even at 9 years old, Shannon Selig had a charisma that made few doubt her when the young singer announced, “I just want to change people’s lives with my voice.”

Fast forward a decade and half later and Selig has already reached her goal throughout Maine and Nova Scotia. Using her dual citizenship to her benefit, Selig sang her way across the continent, making fans on both sides of the border.

Winner of the New England Country Music Association Songwriter of the Year in 2013 and 2012, Selig also won the North American Country Music Association award for Horizon Songwriter both those years. Selig also was named New England Country Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year in 2011, and, the next year, claimed the win for Horizon Female Vocalist Award 2012 Internationally.

Selig calls a new city home now. A few months ago, the country singer/songwriter relocated to Nashville, ready to walk the talk she had proclaimed since her childhood.

In less than one month, Selig will release Perfectly Imperfect. After choosing the songs, the Berklee College of Music alumna gathered a lineup of first call musicians to record the final project at Catch This Music Studios, owned by Eddie Robba. Mike Stankiewicz engineered the album, with Music Row veteran Gary Sadker of Red Ridge Entertainment, producing.

A CD Release Party is set for April 18 at The Rutledge.

With an album in-hand and a lineup of tour dates, Selig sets out on the next phase of her career with a message that remains unchanged: “I just want to change people’s lives with my voice.”
